Marg sat at our campfire in Northwesten Ontario. She loved the Northern lights and searched the sky relentlessly, looking for falling stars. Her one wish was for your safe return. I think we were up until 4 am just so she could see one.
Her heart was not at ease until you were safe in her arms again.
We are so sorry you lost your mom.

Barb, just got home from Ft. Pickett yesterday and picked up Moyra’s e-mail about your sister’s passing this morning. Very, very sorry and want you to know that I am thinking of you, especially tomorrow.
Must have been a great shock but I hope you are doing OK. Your sister sure looks like you.
Take care of yourself as best as you can.

I am very sorry and shocked to hear of Margie’s sudden passing. I work in the same mall as she did and we spent quite a few breaks together. To her children Danny & Alicia…she loved you so much and spoke so proudly of both of you. And to her grandson Xavier you were the love of her life. I will miss my chats with her alot. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be sadly missed.
Our sincere sympathy, Dan & Teresa, Alicia & Ryan in the loss of your precious Mom. Our hearts go out to you at this very difficult time. May God bless you with strength, wisdom, courage and peace in the days ahead. May you be comforted as you reflect on all the many special memories you will always have of your Mom.
Love Charlie & Gail
I am deeply saddened about your loss. Marg was a very nice person who always had a smile on her face. She loved to read books and spend time always with her son and daughter and her grandson Xavier. I will very much miss you Marg You will always be in our thoughts.
Margie loved Long Beach and made the most of her time there. Sorry you had to leave so soon.
I want you to know how much I liked Margaret. She volunteered at the Single Parent Resource Centre for many years before she started working at Smith Books. There were many times Margaret helped people who used the Centre as she really cared and wanted to do something for those who needed it.
She was also a friend and many times we just sat and talked and she told me of her children and their dreams. Margaret loved her children very much. Although I was pleased for her when she left the Centre to work at the book store I told her she would be missed. She would drop in to the Centre when she could for many years. I will miss her.

I am very sorry and shocked to hear of Margaret’s untimely passing. She was so dedicated to her family and I’m sure will be very missed by Danny and Alicia and her grandchildren as well as many other family and friends. She was a gentle spirit! She had a very warm heart! I will miss her.
